Hi
Anyone got any tips for bleeding 4 pot wilwood callipers?
I just can't seem to get a good solid feel to the pedal.
Many thanks
Neil

I opened the bleeders and let them gravity bleed first, shutting the nipples as fluid came through. Then I just bled them one at a time in the normal
manual way, starting with the closest to the master and working around to the furthest. On each caliper I did the inner nipple first then the outer
and then re-checked the inner.
If you've got twin masters/balance bar you might have to do one front and one rear together as the balance bar can lock and prevent full
movement on just one cylinder.
